Music On Top (Korean: 뮤직온탑) was a South Korean music television program broadcast by JTBC. It airs live every Wednesday at 6:20 PM KST. It is currently hosted by Yoon Doo-joon of B2ST and actor Lee Hyun-woo. The show was put on hiatus after the March 14, 2012 episode, but it reported to be coming back in at some indefinite date in the future; this was a factor of having consistent low ratings (similar to the demise of shows of like format such as Channel A (Korea)'s "K-Pop Con" and Maeil Broadcasting Network's "Show! K Music".)^[1]
